We hypothesized that the Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density
Imaging (NODDI)-based tractography
could improve the reconstruction of the fiber tracts that by tracking through
regions of peritumoral edema. In visual comparison with diffusion
tensor imaging (DTI), this model provided similar performance in healthy side and better performance
in the corticospinal tract
(CST) of
the affected
side. This technique may help neurosurgeons to define an optimal safe margin for total resection.
